Hi guys, I Installed SQL 2012 on a windows sever 2012.
Locally the system is working fine however while trying to connect via SSMS 2012 installed on a different machine (windows 7) i encounter an interesting situation.
1. While named pipes is enabled on the SQL Server machine, the server will not appear while i browse the network looking for the server.
2. While named pipes is disabled on the sql server machine, the server will appear while i browse the network, but trying to connect will result in error 40.
all the rest, connection permissions, TCP etc. is set correctly.
any idea ?
